I filled out the survey and got the verdict the Pew’s verdict: I’m a Digital Collaborator – and part of a minority group – only 8% of the population.

If you are a Digital Collaborator, you use information technology to work with and share your creations with others. You are enthusiastic about how ICTs help you connect with others and confident in how to manage digital devices and information. For you, the digital commons can be a camp, a lab, or a theater group – places to gather with others to develop something new.

I bet many readers of this blog are probably digital collaborators as well.

Let’s try to find out!
Please take the quiz and post YOUR resulting type in a comment.

Yikes, didn’t see the quiz link and just went down the list and picked where I fit. After taking the quiz I was granted “Digital Collaborator” status. Perhaps I broke something since I’m not “Motivated by Mobility” at all. :(

Surprise, surprise. I’m a digital collaborator as well. Given that most of us work on the Web, I don’t know that we could have been much else. But like J. Todd and Todd, I’m not big on mobile devices. I don’t surf the Web from my phone, and I don’t want to call people or be called when I’m out and about.

I’m easily found via e-mail and various social media services when I’m online, and am happy to take my laptop with me when I need to be connected, but if I’m out socializing that’s my time to pull the plug. We can’t all be available 24/7. (Even if my late night Twitter habits would suggest otherwise!)

I’m a Digital Collaborator, which is not a surprise. I fit into some of the demographics. I’m in my 30s and well-educated (just received my master’s last week; my thesis was about young adults, their social networking habits and how they use technology to manage relationships). However, I am female, and – if you knew my checking account balance – not well off!

I’m an ambivalent networker…and that’s so accurate. I hate how intrusive social networking sites are and dislike it that people assume I want to read their posts or twitter about trivial things. At the same time, I like being able to gather information and be in touch with people far away. So…I guess I’m simply ambivalent (which is better than how I used to classify myself–as a late adapter.)

I’m a desktop veteran and the description is perfect. Avid Internet user but not into the oversharing of some social media. And I very rarely turn on my cell phone. I LIKE not being able to be reached sometimes. Plus it doesn’t work in the rural area in which I live … too bad.

I’m an information mover … not sure what that means. I like the internet and computers and use them every day, but if they were to disappear today at noon, I may not notice. When I go on vacation or travel, I never seem to miss them. My cellphone, however, I feel naked without.

Digital Collaborator. My 27-year-old son has called me an “internet sophisticate” so now I have a new term of endearment he can use. Also among the ranks of female and over fifty, though I certainly do NOT look it :-)
